The world famous monster Nessie from the Loch Ness in Scotland is about to get a rather tough competitor – the Water Bull from the Rabisha Lake in Northwestern Bulgaria.
Even though the Water Bull and Nessie seem to be of very different species, the Water Bull of the Rabisha Lake is set to conquer the world going in the footsteps of the Loch Ness Monster, Emil Tsankov, Mayor of the town of Belogradchik has told Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency).
Belogradchik is a small, though, rather famous and picturesque town in the Bulgarian Northwest. First and foremost, it is known for the Belogradchik Rocks – absolutely miraculous rock formations stretching for some 30 km in the western part of the Balkan Moutain (Stara Planina).
Over the past year, the Belogradchik Rocks did pretty well in the competition for the New Seven Wonders of the World, and even though they failed to make it to the finalists, they have found a spot on the prestigious reserve list. The other amazing thing near Belogradchik is the Magurata Cave with its enchanting paintings by prehistoric people.
And the third world-class tourist attraction the Belogradchik Municipality wants to add to its portfolio has to do with the Monster of the Rabisha Lake.

In recent months, you have read here of Robert Rines’ media statements regarding the possible extinction of the Loch Ness Monsters, which got drummed up in the press, literally, as the “death of Nessie,” both in the UK newspapers and on an episode of “MonsterQuest.” That was recently picked up by Loch Ness Monster Fan Club president Gary Campbell in his yearend summary, which we published here at Cryptomundo. His statements are now being circulated around the United Kingdom over the weekend.
Unfortunately, it looks like the UK media has taken Campbelll’s overview and promoted it to headline status. The Scottish Daily Record came out with a story entitled “The end of Nessie: Researchers fear Loch Ness monster may be dead.” The story has turned up elsewhere, as well.

The head of the Loch Ness monster’s fan club has denied suggestions that the animal is dead following just one credible sighting last year.
A new documentary examines the possibility that the monster might be extinct as its reported appearances become increasingly rare.
Gary Campbell, president of the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club, said only one sighting, made just off the Clansman Hotel on 6th June, 2009, was judged by him to have been a credible report.
And according to Mr Campbell such reports are increasingly rare.
He said: “”That’s why were so relieved to have heard about this sighting.
“In June, when it was reported, nobody had seen anything for a year. If it hadn’t been for that one, we would have been really, really worried.

“FROM the depths of time it comes from the ocean, gliding up our waterways to lay its eggs then slipping silently away again – this is Sydney’s own “Nessie”.
Cryptozoologist Rex Gilroy said he recently saw the 12m giant surface in the Hawkesbury River. Through binoculars Mr Gilroy saw a dark shadow “with a longish neck” near Wiseman’s Ferry.
The revelation comes just days after Google Earth images showed what appeared to be Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster.
Mr Gilroy, who has been searching for Sydney’s beast since 1965, said he believed it was a plesiosaur from the Jurassic period.”
